Join us in the land of red rocks, slot canyons, arches, and hoodoos; the iconic Southwest Landscape! You will experience and photograph awe inspiring scenery while learning how to make great images from a veteran photograph instructor and expert on the Southwestern Landscape. We will explore a variety of areas including Capital Reef, known for its towering Navajo Sandstone towers and monoliths, and the San Rafael Swell, two thousand square miles of twisting canyons, soaring buttes, and dramatic cliff-sides.
